ff HE Science of Man opens the gates of Paradise. This science 
Qi) alone can make us read aright the lessons of past experience, 
xlnd it alone can interpret the magnificent visions of our 
future destiny. 

Three great factors have been at work in the lives of indi- 
viduals and of nations. These factors are the Intellect, the Feel- 
ings and the Will of Man. They have produced Knowledge, So- 
chi life and Industry. 

Mental Science therefore includes three subjects; it embraces 
all human Thought, Feeling, and Action. This science must clear- 
ly explain the mechanism of the mind aod its methods of action; 
it must give us an integral sy-tem of education and social life; 
and it must furnish a perfect plan of civil government and of or- 
ganized industry. 

The Brain i* an JE llipse. Its focal points are the Motus or 
centre of motion, and the Sensus, or centre of sensation. From 
these centres the radiant lines of microscopic nerve-tubules extend 
outward to the mass of nerve cells which compose the external 
part of the brain. Downward through the spinal cord the nerves 
pass to all parts of the body and unite all these parts in a close 
sympathy aod responsive action. 

The Brain at Work. Let us suppose that there is an arrow 
or pointer, before us. A picture of this arrow is formed in the 
back of the eye, as shown at the letter A. This image is carried 
along the optic nerve to the optic lobes and the Sensus. Then it 
is carried to the Motus and to the cells of Form and Color. We 
then see the arrow before us. We now know what kind of a 
thing it is that we are looking at, and this action of the mind is 
called a Perception. 

The currents of nerveforce now pass from one cell to another. 
They flow upward and over backward. They excite Memory, and 
we at once remember what arrows are, and what they are used 
for. Then our Reason reflects that by reaching out our hand we 
can get this arrow. Next, our Desire is awakened, and we feel 
that we would like to g^t the arrow, or do something with it. 
This stirs up the cells of Volition, or the will, and they send down 
a current through the sensus and motus, and down the front col- 
umns of the spinal cord. This message passes out on the motor 
nerves to the muscle-cells of the arm and hand. It polarizes these 
muscle-cells, making them contract and relax and thus move the 
hand. 

The message thus described was joined in the motus by another 
current from Form and Color, and this last message told the 
muscles just how far and which way to move, in order to get the 
arrow.

A SYNOPSIS. 

CVWE3SIANISM. In the constitution of man is the vital 
mechanism that produces all the phenomena of Soci- 
ety. Therefore we cannot have a true Science of Soci- 
ety without a scientific knowledge of his constitution. 
Its laws include the entire plan of a perfect social structure. 

The history of man displays the upward march of nations from 
the rule of the lower to that of the higher faculties. And the 
growth of civilization has been a constant attempt to organize in- 
stitutions which should better provide for the collective or socie- 
tary wants of man. Back of each one of these wants stands a 
mental faculty which was its producing cause. For example, the 
faculty of Memory produces the collective need of public records, 
of schools, and of literature. From Parental and Filial love arises 
the need of the family with its relations and dependencies. And 
from Rulership comes the need of government, with public lead- 
ers. The same reasoning applies to all of the faculties. The want 
can not exist without the faculty as its source. Therefore society 
has as many kinds of collective wants as there are of groups and 
faculties in the human mind. Its only means of representing and 
supplying these wants is by officers and departments. But in 
all the institutions of civilized society, in this year of the Common 
Era, 1881, the six higher groups are not provided for nor in any 
way represented. 

A Perfect Plan of Society must therefore provide for our intel- 
lectual wants by having departments of Art, Letters, Science, and 
Culture. It must establish and incorporate the Home, Family, 
Marriage and Religion, to answer our social needs. And it must 
organize Rulership, Labor, Wealth, and Commerce, in order to 
meet ail the demands of industry. This complete plan is shown 
in the engraved Messiana or Model of Society. After each organ 
is placed the title of the officer who represents the collective or 
societary needs which arise from that faculty. The President and 
Presidess represent the two brain centers and are simply the piv- 
ots of social action. The Marshal is their assistant. Of course the 
officers also represent the corresponding parts of the body, and 
thus provide for both the mental and the physical wants of man. 

Grouping of Members, The members are grouped according to 
their characters, their tastes, and their attractions. Thus the 
groupate of Science is formed of persons with large reasoning or- 
gans; those with the religious faculties dominant form the group- 
ate of Religion; and those with strong ambitious faculties com- 
pose the groupate of Rulership. The officers of society are all to 
be elected, or deposed, by the free vote of the members. 

Authority and Order. All laws of structure and of action in so- 
ciety are to be found in the nature of man, and must be proved by 
the methods of science, and be submitted to the people for their 
approval or rejection. The Town, the County, the State and the 
Nation, have each the same kind of wants, and therefore they 
must have the same constitution, with the same number of de- 
partments and officers.

£ALEMA. The brilliant promises of 
the Hebrew seers reach their focal 
point of intensity in the New Jerusa- 
' lem. The very form and plan of the di- 
vine city embodied those great truths 
,. which are the basis of the Messianic Sys- 
tem of Life. 

Each of the twelve Tribes of Israel 
Iwas the embodiment of an idea, the visi- 
|ble type of some attribute of man's na- 
|ture. For each tribe was distinguished 
Jjfrom the other tribes by having one dom- 
'unitary temple. ~" inant group of mental faculties, with its 
distinct traits of character. For conclusive proof of this, read the 
Blessing of Jacob on the Tribes in tbe 49th chapter of Genesis, and 
33rd of Dueteronomy. Alan, Kitto's History of the Bible, pp. 157 
to 159; and Ewald's Hist, of Israel, pp. 362 to 370. 

Ezekiel describes the New Jerusalem in his 48th chapter, and 
carefully gives the place of each tribe. Our engraving, Chart 40, 
gives this plan of the city, drawn on the human head. The great 
temple was placed in the centre. The letter T indicates the loca- 
tion of twelve lesser temples. 

In thus drawing the plan we reveal a most wonderful truth. 
For each one of the twelve tribes is thus placed exactly on that 
group of mental faculties which formed its ruliner traits of char- 
acter. The tribe of Levi is then located on the group of Religion 
and the Levites had the priesthood, the religious care of Israel. 
The tribe of Zebulon is placed on the group of Home, and they 
were marked by domestic traits. The very word Zebulon means 
" dwelling." The tribe of Joseph is laid on the group of Rulership, 
and Joseph was made ruler over all his brethren. His tribe was 
the most ambitious of all. The Benjamioites were the most ac- 
quisitive and warlike, and they were placed on the group of 
Wealth. And so of all the tribes. 

In a perfect structure of society, each one of the twelve groups 
of members is composed of persons having a dominant group of 
faculties and therefore adapted to the pursuits of that group. 
Hence each society or Band reproduces the ancient nation of Is- 
rael in miniature. But ancient Israel never organized the twelve 
departments of society. They w^re an undeveloped type. 

The Messiah is to gather and rule over twelve tribes. The work 
of grouping members in the Messianic Bands is the actual work 
of gathering and sealing them in tribes. And, as foretold by the 
prophets, this gathering includes not only the lineal descendants 
of Israel, but also the gentile nations. Ezek. 47th 22, 23.— Isa. 
2nd, 2.— Isa. 60th, 3, 5. 

The New Jerusalem was more than a sublime symbol. It was 
the perfect model from which all cities on the earth are to be 
built in the Messianic age. 



A SYNOPSIS. 

^i TRUE Education must reach the Head, the Heart and the 
-A Hand. For the life of man is threefold; it is Intellectu- 
^\ al, Social, and Industrial. Education must therefore be 
- — s a system of Instruction, of Culture, and of Training. It 
must be based upon an exact knowledge of man's mental and phy- 
sical constitution. 

First— ^ATUBiL UIETHOI>S. These require that in 
the first years of instruction we should use object lessons, conver- 
sations, and industrial plays. Each faculty should be cultivated 
through its own proper objects of action, and not simply through 
verbal instruction. For example, the Friendship of a child is cul- 
tivated by its doing friendly deeds; its Integrity by showing it how 
to treat its fellows justly; and its Construction by teaching it to 
make articles of use and play. After the tenth year, the child may 
also study regular lessons in serial text books. These include 
condensed, uniform treaties on Geometry, Spacics, Arithmetic, 
Chemistry, Cosmology, Dynamics, Mentology, Physiology, Botany, 
Language, Esthetics, and Handcraft. 

Second.— SYSTEMATIC CULTURE. The studies of 
the school must be so arranged that they will furnish a daily and 
systematic culture of all the mental faculties, takmg up the twelve 
groups of these in a natural order. This is showix in the engraved 
model of the School, giving the hours for each group, and the 
three leading divisions of its studies. Every study has its special 
influence on some part of the faculties. In the first morning hour 
we teach the pupils how to bathe, dress and care for their rooms; 
how to eat, what are the kinds of food, and their effects on the 
body; and, the arts of garden and field culture. All these studies 
tend to stimulate and develope the faculties of the domestic or 
Home group. The next hour we take the Art group, then that of 
Commerce; and so on through all of the twelve. 

Third.— PHYSICAL, TRAIUfltfO. We must train and 
develop all parts of the body in responsive harmony with the 
mind, so as to secure health, strength and industrial activity. This 
is accomplished through the organization of industrial plays and 
attractive labors, and not by the fictions of gymnastics, which em- 
ploy the body without the mind. Each mental faculty acts in re- 
sponsive sympathy with a definite part of the body. Thus Ruler- 
ship, Labor, Wealth and Commerce, govern all muscular labors. 
These relations of the brain and the body are the basis of physic- 
al training. 

The Home School, the College, and the University are all organ- 
ized on the same plan, with the same number of departments and 
groups. In the College and the University each group has two 
teachers and an assistant, and these, with the President and Pre- 
sidess, form a body of thirty-nine professors. These higher schools 
simply carry all the studies into more elaborate forms and demon- 
strations than would be possible in the Home School. 



A SYNOPSIS. 

\|)HASES 0F LIFE. In the phase of Childhood, the character 
J8/ is ruled by simple perceptions, feelings, and impulses, located 
^ at the base of the brain. 

During the phase of Youth, the next higher range of organs 
come into activity. The youth acquires stores of knowledge 
through Memory, he learns of domestic relations through Famil- 
ism, and he gets an idea of property through the group of Wealth. 

In Maturity, the character is ruled by the six upper groups. 
Reason, Culture, Religion, Sexlove, Integrity, and Dignity then 
exert their lofty sway. 

But the mighty law of progress does not end its work with man 
as an individual. It forces the race of man along the march of 
historic ages, step by step, from the base rule of the lower brain- 
organs upward to the beneficent dominion of his higher faculties. 
On a map of the brain we may trace the entire chart of human 
history. 

A nation, like a single person, has its childhood, its youth, and 
its maturity. The first ages of the human race were ignorant, 
sensual, and nomadic. They were ruled by the base of the brain. 

The phase of Youth followed, with the gradual development of 
dogmas in philosophy; of creeds and sects in religion, and of com- 
petition, poverty and monopolies in the line of industrial move- 
ment. 

The nations of Europe and America, as a whole, have only just 
entered their great phase of Maturity. Hence their experience 
has only led them to organize institutions and elect officers to rep- 
resent the wants which arise from the lower and baser half of the 
brain. They are impelled upward by a resistless law of nature, 
Their average personal development of the brain is far above their 
institutions. They have outgrown the old, and are prepared for 
new forms of social or political life. 

Nature lifts man above the brute by giving him a higher brain 
than the brute possesses. And if we would secure society against 
the evils of the past and the present, we must represent the high- 
er faculties in forming a new social structure. Nor is there any- 
thing difficult in this higher work of organization. It is no more 
difficult to represent the higher facultk* of the mind by depart- 
ments and officers of society, than it was in the past to thus rep- 
resent the lower ones. The science of man furnishes us a com- 
plete guide in this new work. For it shows us how many facul- 
ties exist in the mind, and therefore shows how many departments 
and officers would constitute a perfect form of society. 

Tne law of progress involves the transfer of functions from low 
and simple to high and complex organs. These higher organs 
repeat the functions of the lower ones, but in a more elaborate 
and perfect form. Nature does not attain complexity by simply 
increasing the number of parts, but rather by changing the form 
and arrangement of these parts.

A SYNOPSIS. 

1 LIFE. In the myriad forms of animals and plants 
> has one basic plan of structure. This plan is call 
i Phyton in our engraving, and is seen in every leal 
and tree. Its essential parts are central tubes or veins, 
with branches which terminate in microscopic cells. The little 
cell is the workshop of life, where all the vital materials are 
elaborated. The tubes are for the passage of liquids or waves of 
force. This plan results from a mechanical law of liquids. 

A leaf and a tree have the same plan. The trunk of the tree is 
a vast bundle of tubes, like the midvein of a leaf. These branch 
out through the limbs of the tree to reach the working cells in 
the leaves. The fruit itself is a thickened leaf. 

In all the varied kinds of animals, every organ is formed on 
this same basic leaf-plan. Thus in the lungs, marked LU in the 
engraving, the great air tube or trachea, branches out until it 
reaches the air cells, where the vital work of the lungs is done. 
We shall see the same tree-plan if we dissect out any organ of 
the body, the heart, the arteries, the glands, liver, pancreas, or 
any others. 

And finally, the great law of tree-forms reaches its highest ex- 
ample in the nervous system and brain of man. A million nerve- 
tubes are bound together in the spinal cord. These pass up and 
branch outward through the brain centers toward its surface, 
where they terminate in the mass of cells which compose the 
convolutions. Thus the brain is an actual tree, the most perfect 
in all nature. In our engraving, it has been taken out of the 
body, and apparently planted in the earth. It answers complete- 
ly to the description of the Tree of Life in Genesis and the Apoca- 



The twelve fruits of this Tree of Life are borne by the twelve 
groups of faculties. All that is sweet, and noble and true, in the 
private life of man, or in the public history of nations, has been 
the fruit of this tree. It brings forth its fruits successively through 
the phases of childhood, youth, and maturity. It grows by the 
River of Life, the great arteries and veins through which the 
water of life always flows. The four chambers of the heart are 
the four heads of this river. And, through the new system of in- 
tegral education the leaves of this tree are for the healing of the 
nations. That healing, whether physical or spiritual, can only 
come through a complete obedience to all the laws of this tree, for 
these are the laws of life. 

More than this; each kind of food, of grain or fruit, has a spe- 
cial influence in stimulating and furnishing materials of growth 
to a special group of faculties. And the different kinds of food 
are related to each other by the same laws of musical harmony 
that unite the faculties themselves. Upon these fixed relations i& 
based a system of diet which shall secure the perfect health and 
symmetrical development of the body, as well as furnish a basis 
for the highest spiritual strength and unity of the human race. 



ASYNOPSIS. 

TJf HE ATONEMENT expresses the law of Healing for the spirit. 
ici) A precisely similar law governs our bodies. When any organ 
of the body is diseased, or injured, we are warned by pain 
to remove the cause of the injury. The arteries then proceed to 
carry blood, which contains new materials, to the injured part, 
and the vital forces form new tissues there. They do this work 
of healing by the same laws that sustain the ordinary vital growth 
and actions of the body. The law of life, in any organ, includes 
the power to constantly adjust itself to external changes. The 
work of healing is natural. All that we can do is to supply the 
necessary conditions and materials. 

It is equally true that in our spiritual nature the law of growth 
and action includes the law and power of healing. When we do 
wrong, our repentance and sorrow are the warning moral pain. 
They show that the spirit has been injured. The laws of respon- 
sive social action impel us to make amends for the wrong done. 
We seek reconciliation. We re-establish the broken currents of 
spiritual life. And we heal the wounds of the spirit with new 
and actual moral tissues. Currents of actual vital force flow from 
one person to another. These may add so much to the forces al- 
ready in the body and thus turn the tide toward healthy action. 
This is the atonement. It is the making one again, the joining of 
that which was sundered, whether it was between man and man, 
or between man and Yehovah. The law of the atonement is uni- 
versal, it unities man with all spiritual beings in the pulsatiug 
tides of a common life. 

Man is in the image of Yehovah. Both have the same kind of 
faculties, governed by the same spiritual laws. Perpetual response 
and interchange of forces must exist between Yehovah and man. 
The act of forgiveness is a voluntary attempt to overcome wrong 
conditions, and to restore harmony of action between two beings. 
It is thus a fulfilment of the law of spiritual responses. The same 
is true of answers to prayer. The social* faculties of man lead him 
to make an answer when his friend asks him a question or makes 
a request. And equally so the social faculties of Yehovah lead him 
to answer when man makes a request of him. Responses are a 
part of the " fixed " or permanent nature of Yehovah. But forgive- 
ness does not prevent the pain or punishment of sin. It simply 
stops the evil internal action at a certain point and allows the 
healing powers to commence the work of spiritual cure. 

The ancient Sacrifices were feasts of reconciliation, of gratitude 
or of goodwill. They always consisted of some kind of food, the 
material of physical life. To eat with a person who has offended 
us is a symbol of reconciliation. If man had offended Yehovah 
and became forgiven, to eat with him would be a striking symbol 
that they both were again partaking of a common life. The sac- 
rifices never represented either pain or punishment. Even the 
" blood of sprinkling" was used while yet warm and living, and 
it thus truly symbolized the unity and interchange of life.

THE MESSIAH. 

JJfHE Messiah is the founder of a universal and perfect 
^ system of life and government on this earth. 

For proof ol this, read Duet. 18th, 15 to 22 —Numbers 24th, 17, 
18.— Isaiah 9th, 6, 7; 11th, 1, 2; 16th, 1 to 12.— Daniel 2nd, 44. 

2. The prophets call him "a Branch," "a Rod," "a David," 
" the Prince " etc. etc. 

See Isa. 4th, 2.' -Isa. 11th, 1.— Jer. 23rd. 5; 33rd, 15; 30th, 9.— 
Hos. 3rd, 5.— Ezek. 48th, l.-Zohar,ex. p. 93, c. 3.— Berachoth 5, 11. 

3. The Messiah shall gather and rule over Twelve Tribes of Isra- 
el, " in the dav that he comes," and i>ot eightee i centuries aftcward. 

See Jer. 23rd, 5, 6, 7; 33rd, 7, 14, 15, 24.— Isa. 11th, 11 to 16. 

4. His marked traits will be the " spirit of Wisdom, and Knowl- 
edge, the Fear of Yehovah, and Might of Will, united with Severity 
and Equity in Judgment. 

See Isa. 9th, 6, 7— Isa. 11th, 2 to 5— Isa. 32nd, 1 to 18.— Isa. 
63rd, 1 to 6.— Ps. 2nd, 1 to 12 (?). 

5. He will rule under " a New Covenant, whose laws are written 
in the inner nature of man." His " Kingdom " will be external as well 
as spiritual. It has 12 departments, 12 laws, and 24 leaders. 

See Jer. 31 st, v. 27 to 40.-l*a. 25th, 6, 7, 8.— Isa. 52nd, 1, 2, 3, 
12, 13— Isa. 65th, 17 to 25— Jer. 33rd, 7 to 26.— Ezek. 36th, 28.— 
Ezek. 37th, 25.— Mlcah4th, 1 to 4.— Duet, 30th, 11 to 14.— Matthew 
19th, 28.-Rev. 4th, 4.-Rev. 7th, 4. 

6. The Messiah's "Kingdom" will begin in a small and quiet 
way, "like a grain of mustard seed," but it will increase until it fills 
the whole earth. 

See Dan. 2nd, 35.— Matt. 24th, 43.— I. Peter, 3, 10— Rev. 16, 1 6. 

7. He will not employ miracles, but he will use Reason and Sci- 
ence, "the Logos," as the instruments to establish his kingdom. 

See Rev. 19th, 11 to 21.— Isa. 11th, 4— Ez«-k. 38th, 1 to 23; 
39th, 1 to 21.— Farrar's Early Days of Christianity, chap. 13, p. 151.— 
Maudsley's Body and Mind, p. 59— Jewish Chronicle, Jan. 9th, 1880. 

8. The prophets of the Old Testament neither assert nor teach 
that .the Messian was to be offered as a Sacrifice to make atonement 
for sin. The passages which Christians quote to prove him a sacrifice 
were in each case distinctly spoken ot oth^r persons. Such is Isaiah 
53rd, which is spoken of " My servant, the Nation of Israel." 

9. The Messiah was to come into the world through a natural 
birth and not by a miracle. Even his "second coming" was to be 
secretly, like a thief at night. Its " clouds of heaven " are spiritual, 
and only to b *, seen by spiritual vision. 

See "Come as a thief" in Matt. 24th, 43— I. Peter, 3rd, 10.— 1. 
Thess.,5th, 10.— Rev. 16th, 16.— See "clouds of heaven" in Matt. 
24th, 30.— Matt. 26th, 64.— Rev. 1st, 7.— Acts 1st, 11.— See spiritual 
clouds in Exod. 14th, 19, 20. 

10. The prophets foretell that he was to be a man, and not Ye- 
hovah. He will neither seek nor accept divine honors from men. 
His authority will be in the Truth, and not in his own will. He is 
simply the Leader and Organizer of his age. 

See Jer. 33rd, 15, 17, 21. 26.— Psalm 45th, 1 to 17. 

11. The distinctly Messianic prophecies were none of them ful- 
filled by Jesus of Nazareth. 

12. The Salvation promised in the Bible is from the evils of this 
earth, and it is to be accomplished here.

main unfulfilled In this year 1881 of the Christian Era. TheMes- 
sians look for the entire fulfillment, beginning in the present age. 




A SYNOPSIS. 
ESSIANISM rests upon these twelve great foundations. 

1st. Departments. Society is an image of man, a 
product of all his faculties. Its Institutions are form- 
ed to supply his Collective Wants. Its twelve depart- 
ments, with their officers, must represent all parts of his nature. 

2nd. Prophecies. The Ancient Nation of Israel, with its 
twelve Tribes and Princes, was the great historic Type, and this 
System of Life is the completion. It fulfils the Messianic proph- 
ecies of all nations. 

3rd. Twelve Groups. The members of each Band in society 
are placed in twelve groups, according to their characters, their 
attractions, and their capacities. 

4th. Marriage. The Equality of man and woman is secured 
by pairing them in all offices and employments. 

5th. Authority. The true laws of Society, or government, 
are within the nature of man. Inspiration may reveal their sym- 
bols, but Science alone can interpret them and show their appli- 
cation. 

6th. Unity. The wants of a Band, Town, County, State, and 
Nation, are alike in kind, and they must all have the same con- 
stitution. They are united through conventions. 

7th. Elections. All officers must be elected, or deposed, by a 
free vote of those they are to lead. Each law must be submitted 
to the people for their approval or rejection. 

8th. Religion. The groups of society must act in responsive 
harmony, according to the mental laws. The good of each must 
be secured through the good of all. The Human is an image of 
the Divine Being, and both are governed by the same inherent 
laws. The aim of religion is the reign of universal truth, peace, 
and justice. 

9th. Industry. All members must be secured in constant 
employment, and the full results of their labor, or of its equiva- 
lent. 

10th. Ownership. There must be common ownership for all 
things used in common by two or more persons, such as Build- 
ings, Lands, Highways, and Machinery. 

11th. Education. The system of Education must secure the 
systematic and daily culture of each group of mental faculties, 
through appropriate studies, plays, and labors. 

12th, Dwellings. There must be unitary dwellings, system- 
atic earth-culture, and sanitary conditions for all societies.

ON THE 

INTELLECTUAL, SOCIAL, AND PHYSICAL 

REDEMPTION OF MAN. 



-co- 



Lecture Flr3t. The Seven Civilizations. The Earth 
was gradually prepared for the noble advent of Man. 
The physical conditions of the earth became adapted to 
higher and higher kinds of animal and plant-life during 
the geologic ages of Granite, of Molluscs, Fishes, Coal, 
Reptiles, Mammals, and of Man. 

Eor proofs, consult Dana's or Lyell's Geology. 

2. During these ages of the earth, the nervous system 
and brain developed from the base to the top, and from 
the back to the front. The highest faculties must rule 
in the maturity of our race and of the earth. 

fee Von Baer's law of Specialization in Draper's Physiology, p. 514; 
Dana's Cephalization, entire; and the Book of Life, chap. 7th. 

3. The Aryan, Semitic, and Mongolian Races were 
the early civilizers of the world. 

See Rawlinson's Origin of Nations, Part 2nd, chaps. 1, 2 and 3. 

4. Each of the six past civilizations was the out- 
growth of a limited region of the brain. Their initial 
point of growth was in the group of Familism. 

Consult Sir Henry S. Maine's Early Institutions, pp. 65, 79 and 116; 
and Draper's Intellectual Development of Europe, entire. 

5. China was marked by the development of agricul- 
ture, paternalism, and schools. Its education was or- 
ganized under Confucius, born 551, B. C. 

India develoDes speculative thought in Brahminism 
and Bhuddhism, about 1200, and 600. B. C. 
See Rawlinson's Origin of Nations, chap. 9th. Draper, chap. 3rd. 

6. Egypt, 2450 B. C. was based on agriculture, castes, 
absolutism, and symbolism. 

Semitic civilization includes Assyrian branch, 2300 
B. C; Phenician branch, 1500 B, C; and Hebrew under 
Moses. 1586, B. C. 

See Rawlinson Grig, of Nations, chaps. 1 to 9; Draper, vol. 2. chap, 2 . 

Greco-Roman developes empiric art and science, and 
martial ambition; Greece, 1556; and Rome, 752 B. C. 

Draper, chap. 4th. 



A SYNOPSIS. 

Christian civilization was Romanized. It developed 
creeds, art, monopolies and physical science. 

7. Messianism, or the coming civilization, will de- 
velope synthetic science, integral culture, spiritual and 
human unity, organized labor, and universal wealth. 



Lecture Second. The Tree of Life. Units of Struc- 
ture in the crystal, and the cell. The Leaf-plan includes 
tubes, branches and cells. 

See Dr. Asa Gray's works on Botany; and Book of Life, chap. 1st; 

The law of liquids produces the tree-form and plan. 
Exemplified in all living organs, — the lungs, glands, 
arteries, veins, nerves, &e. 

See Gray's Anatomy, entire; Dalton' Physiology, entire volume. 

The Nervous System and Brain of Man is the highest 
example of tree forms. Its centers, branches, and clus- 
tering cpIR 300,000,000 cells on its surface. 

SeeBastlan On the Brain, entire; and Ferrier's Functions of the 
Brain, on brain-centers, see Draper's Physiology, pp. 282, 319, 265; 
Luys' Brain and its Functions, pp. 34 to 4^; Ferrier On the Brain, 
p. 8; Flint's Physiology, p. 597. On the Cerebellum, see Ferrier, pp. 
35, 121; Flint's Phys., p. 709; Owen's Comp. Anatomy, p. 287; and 
Flourens' Recherches, 1842. 

The twelve fruits of this Tree come from twelve groups 
of faculties. Twelve is the basic number of construc- 
tion in the parts and organs of the human form. 

Consult Wm. Page in Scribner's Mag., April, 1879; Book of Life, 
chap. 3rd; Bain's Mental Science, chap. 1st; Bastian, p. 139; Mauds- 
ley, Phys. and Path., p. 122. 

River of Life, with 4 heads and 4 directions. Divides 
by 4 at 17 points. The water of life, 75 per cent, water, 
the rest cells and protoplasm. " Clear as crystal " under 
the microscope. 

Hiddekel, Glhon, Pison and Phrath, in Genesis 2nd, 9; Ezeklel 47, 
12; Kevela. 22,-1; " Fruit" is spoken of in 100 passages of the Bible. 

Ail nations have Sacred Trees=Bho-tree of Bhudda; 
Soma tree of Persia; Tooba tree of Mahomet; Ygdrasil 
of Scandinavia; Etz Hakeyim or tree of life of Genesis, 
and A^herah of Chaldea. 

See Ferguson's Tree and Serpent Worship, entire volume. 

The lecture on Education will show how to make this 
tree bear the immortal fruits of culture. 






A SYNOPSIS. 

Lecture Third. The Coming Republic. The major 
and minor axis of the brain are the great lines of move- 
ment. Social faculties are the center of all national 
growth. Nations originate in tribes. 

See Bain's Mental Science, chap. 1st.; Luys On the Brain, p. 112; 
Porter's Elem. Intellectual Science, p. 31 ; Sir H. S. Maine's Tillage 
Communities, entire; Lewes' Life and Mind, vol 1, p. 173. 

Nations have advanced from the base to the top-brain. 
They have passed through the phases of Childhood and 
Youth, and are now in that of Maturity. 

See Draper's Intellectual Development of Europe, entire ; Bastian 
On the Brain, pp. 332, 187; Book of Lite, chap. 6th, and Clodd's 
Childhood of the World, entire volume. Also, Draper, p. 615. 

The Institutions of Society are an outgrowth of Hu- 
man Wants. " The wants of man are its true and natu- 
ural foundations. 

See Blackstone's Commentaries, sec. 2, 146; and Book 1, chap. 1, 
1124. 

Civilism ia 1881 only represents the lower half of our 
faculties. A perfect form of society must have 12 de- 
partments, 24 leaders, 2 centers, and 13 assistants. 

The Band, Town, County, State and Nation have the 
same kind of wants and must have the same constitu- 
tion. 

All true laws of society are included in the mental 
and physical constitution of man. These laws are the 
supreme and only authorities. 

See Blackstone, sec. 2, 141, 42; and Book 1, chap. 1; Maine's Early 
Institutions, p. 387; Bain's Mental Science, p. 156-7; Justinian's 
Institutes, Book I, i. 3; Draper, Int. Dev., chap. 1st. 



Lecture Fourth, The Millennium. Inspiration re- 
veals truth by symbols. Science alone can interpret 
these symbols in a practical form. 

See Lyman Abbott, D. D., in N. Am. Review, Jan., 1883. 

2. The members of each Band are placed in twelve 
groups, according to their characters, tastes, and capaci- 
ties. 

3. The twelve Tribes of Israel were each marked by a 
single dominant group of mental faculties. This made 
them a true type of the perfect form < f society. 

Read Genesis, 4Hth chap.; Kitto's History of the Bible, pp. 157 to 
159; Ewald's History of Israel, pp. 362 to 370; Judges 5th, 14, and 
8th, 12; Milman's Hist, of the Jews, entire; History and Lit. of Isra- 
elites, by Rothschild; Graetz' Geschichte des Juden. 



A SYNOPSIS. 

4. The Messiah was to gather and rule over twelyr 
tribes of Israel, " in the day that he came." 

For proof, see Jeremiah, chap. 23rd, 5, 6, 7, 8; Jer., 33rd, 7, 14, 11 
24; Jer.. 31st, v. Ul to 40; Isaiah, 1 1th, 1 to 16. 

5. The grouping of members in the Bands is the work 
of gathering and " sealing " the twelve tribes of Israel. 
Each is to be identified by its ruling group of faculties 

6. In the New Jerusalem, as described by Ezekiel and 
mapped on the head, each tribe is placed on its domin 
ant group of faculties. 

See Exodus, 28th, 15, Numbers, 2nd; Ezekiel, 48th; Synopsis 
Zohar, p. 115, n. 27; Apocalypse, 3rd, 12; and 21st; Apoc, 4th, 1 to 
8; Layard's Nineveh, vol 2, p. 352; Jer., 31st, 31 to 37. 

7. The Redemption of Man is only promised to be on 
this earth. It is both physical and spiritual. 

See Isaiah, 25th chap. 6, 7, 8; Isa. 52nd, 1, 2, 3, 12, 13; Isa. 
65th, 17 to 25; Jere. 33rd, 7 to 26, Ezekiel, 36th, 28; Ezek. 37th 
25, &c. (in all, 172 verses, and would cover 15 pages). 



Lecture Fifth. The Culture of Man. Education 
must reach the Head, the Heart, and the Hand. It must 
be a system of Instruction, of Culture, and of Training, 

2. Intellect, Feeling, and Will, respond to each other 
by inseparable laws and must therefore be educated to- 
gether. 

See Bain's Mental Science, chap. 1st; and pp. 156, 157; Bastian 
on the Brain, p. 148; Luys On the Brain, p. 112; Ferrier, p 295. 

3. The irue method gives one hour daily to the cul 
ture of each group of faculties, through appropriate 
studies, plays, and labors. 

4. The schools of civilism only cultivate three groups. 

5. The Home School, the College, and the University, 
have each the same plan. A three years' course in the 
colleges, and four years in the universities. 

6. Brain and Body must be trained in responsive har- 
mony. They ar«- parts of one whole. 

See Ferrier, p. 262; Maudsley's Phys. and Path, of Mind, pp. 125, 
177, 147. 

7. Gymnastics are false in principle for they employ 
the body alone. In their place we organize industrial 
plays and labors. 

8. The School is made a model of society itself, for 
^which it is to prepare its pupils. 



A SYNOPSIS. 

Lecture Sixth. The Crown of Life. Waves of vital 
force radiate from each organ. Their shapes, conversion 
and direction. They assume the form of a crown. Vital 
exchanges in Mesmerism. 

On Waves, see Luys, pd. 117, 125; The Baretha, chap. 4th; Mauds- 
ley, Phys. and Pathol, of Mind pp. 117. 125; — On Impressions see 
Moser's Images in Draper's Physiol, p. 288; Denton's Soul of Things, 
vol. 1 entire. 

Lecture Seventh. Nature of Spirit. Atoms of Spir- 
it and of Matter. Circular and Eight line .polarity. 
Yehovah a personal being. The New Birth or unfolding 
of the Spiritual Senses. 

Lecture Eighth. Atonement. The Atonement is 
spiritual healing. It is a part of the law of spiritual 
growth. The Sacrifices were feasts, and truly symbol- 
ized the renewal of spiritual life, but not pain or pun- 
ishment. 

See Exodus. 12th chap., 2 to 27; Levit., 5th, 11, 12, 13; and 5, 6, 
9, 10; Ps., 40th; Clodd's Childhood of the World, p. 75; Book of Bar- 
etha, chap. 9th . 

Lecture Ninth. The ancient Dross symbolized crea- 
tive or life-forces, but not death. These axial lines cross 
each other, and are positive and receptive, masculine and 
feminine.

Lecture Tenth. The Standard of Truth. Science 
an instrument of Redemption. Logos (translated 
" word ") means Reason and Science in Revela., 19th.

Jey's Body and Mind, p. 59. Jewish Chron., Jan. 9th, 1880. On 
Logos see chiefly Max Muller's Science of Language, Vol. 2, p. 73. 

Lecture Eleventh. The Yictory of Man. Heavenly 
and Earthly sides of the mind, spiritual and animal. 
The lamb and dove shall triumph over the lion and ser- 
pent. The Serpent is to be destroyed in man, as the last 
battle. 

See Isaiah, 11th; Ezek., 37th; Apoc, 19th; Psalm 19th. 7. 

Lecture Twelfth. The New Earth. Laws of Costume, 
Food, and other sense-harmonies. Harmonic Homes 
based on spiritual laws in man. 

On Collective Ownership, see Maine's Early Institutions, pp. 1 and 
72; Blackstone, Book 2, chap. 1, 12.

THE GOSPEL OF LIFE. 

CJr'HE Redemption of Man must save his Body as well as his 
ill; Soul. It must secure universal Health Virtue, and Happiness. 
It must be established on this earth, and not in heiven. The 
plan of Redemption is now ready for adoption, and is given in the 
Book of Barettia, and in the engraved Messiana. 

2 • Love is the Centre of a true life. But Love has no power 
unless Wisdom guide us to righteous Actions. The Family is the 
origin of Society. Its final form is the enlarged family, or Band of 
Twelve Tribes, in which men live together In the unselfish unity of 
common brotherhood . 

3. The " Kingdom " means a universal republic, for its laws 
are within the spiritual and physical nature of man. Our obedience 
is therefore a condition ot perfect freedom. This government has 
Twelve Departments and Twelve laws. These represent and provide 
for the twelve parts and wants of man's nature. 

4. The Messiah is the Teacher, the Founder and the Leader 
of a new and perfect System of Life and Government. He is the El- 
(reber, the "Strong Man." But he is not Jehovah, and does not 
claim divine honors. This is what the prophets declare. 

5. The Authority in a true system of so-iety must come 
from the natural laws of man. Inspiration has revealed the symbols 
and types of these laws. But they can only be explained, proved, and 
applied through the methods of science. 

6. The "Second Coming" of the Messiah is through a 
natural birth, and not a miracle. It commences " secretly" or quiet- 
ly. Its " clouds of heaven " are spiritual clouds, and only to be seen 
spiritually. Its battles are won by Reason and Science, or the divine 
" Logos." It will destroy all other kingdoms, but its new work will 
stand forever. 

7. Yehovah is a personal being, with the same shape, and the 
same mental attributes as man. The sam-, inherent laws exist in 
both man and Yehovah. We can understand one through th -. other. 
Our obedience to these laws places us in unity with the divine being. 
The name " Yehovah " signifies two persons, a Father and a Mother. 

8. The Atonement is the healing of injuries to the spirit. 
It is done by the laws of spiritual growth and action. It is like the 
healing of diseases in the body, which is done by internal laws of 
vitality. The New Birth is not Conversion, but it is the unfolding 
and use of the Spiritual Senses of vision, hearing, and the rest. 

9. Universal Wealth. wiJl prevail over the earth. All labor 
will be productive to the toiler, and all exchanges will be just. All 
wants of man will be supplied by organized Education, Social Life, 
and Industry. 

10. Unicnltnre in the true life cultivates, daily, each of the 
twelve groups of faculties, through studies, plays, and labors. 

11. The Prophetic Cycle of the old dispensation closed in 
the year 1881. The New System of Life was organized twenty-one 
years before. Its three factors of growth are Knowledge, Love, and 
Action. The ancient nation of Lsrael, with its Twelve Tribes and 
Twelve Princes, was the great historic type, and this system is the 
completion. 

12. Messianisni alone provides for eveiypartof man's na- 
ture. It is sustained by the mighty power of an all-pervading spirit- 
ual life. And its outward expression is the New Heavens and the 
New Earth, prepared for the redeemed race of man. 



A SYNOPSIS. 

\\ HASES OF DISCOVERY. From 1796 to 1828 Dr. Joseph 
Jjxl Francis Gall made public the location of twenty-seven 
ylyi organs of the brain. In 1811 Dr. Joseph R. Buchanan 

|P proved through Psychometry, that four of these, Sexlove, 
Friendship, Parental love, and Patriotism were wrongly 
located by Gall, and that these were on the top and side of the 
brain. He also located the faculties in the body. Dr. James W. 
Redfield discovered the Signs of Character in the face and pub- 
lished them in 1848. 

In 1872 and 1876 Dr. David Ferrier published his experiments 
on the brains of monkeys, dogs and cats. He removed portions 
of the skull so as to expose the brain. When the animal had re- 
covered consciousness, Dr. Ferrier applied currents of electricity 
to different parts of the brain. At each point, the excitement 
produced definite movements of the head, the body, or the limbs. 
In this way he located the centers of motion of twenty one facul- 
ties, as marked in the engraving. These movements were the 
natural gestures of these faculties, as the Author of this Synopsis 
had taught for twenty-one years. They confirm the new loca- 
tions in a most striking and positive manner. And the experi- 
ments have been endorsed by Dr. Flint, Dr. Dalton. Dr. Bastian, 
and many other distinguished physiologists. See, for proof, Flint's 
Physiology, p. 694, Dalton's Physiology, p. 426, edition of 1882; 
Bastian On the Brain, pp. 530, 575 and 688. These experiments 
furnish the last steps in the series of physical proofs of location. 

In the years 1859, 1860, and 1861, the Author of this Synopsis 
made a series of discoveries which complete the outlines of the 
Science of Man. These included the classification of the mental 
organs in three classes and twelve groups; the Geometric laws of 
the Mind; tne Polarity of the Faculties; the Law of Spiritual 
Exchanges and Colors; the perfect Structure of Society; the Tree 
of Life and the System of Integral Education for all the faculties. 
These discoveries thus reduce the Science of Man to a practical 
form. They cover the most vital and the most extensive interests 
of the individual and of society. They solve the greatest problems 
of human life. They give a complete standard of social and re- 
ligious conduct. The Author occupied twelve years of close and 
careful labor in working out the details and demonstrations of 
these laws, and in comparing the immense array of facts upon 
which they rest. 

In April, 1878, the Author discovered that each of the twelve 
tribes of Israel was marked by one dominant group of mental 
faculties, and that each tribe in the New Jerusalem was placed on 
its ruling group of faculties, when we draw a plan of the city on 
the human head. This discovery completed the Author's scientific 
explanation of the great Scheme of the Bible, and demonstrated 
the essential truth of inspiration. It completely placed in our 
hands the means and the method for establishing the Kingdom of 
Heaven on the Earth.
